A Lifestyle Family Session with the Coakleys | Montclair, NJ

When I arrived at the Coakley’s home for their Lifestyle Family Session, I stepped out of my car and was immediately greeted by two of the friendliest boys I have ever encountered. Graham and Alex said hello, introduced themselves and shook my hand confidently. They walked me up the driveway into their home where I then met their littlest brother, super cutie, Quinn. From the moment I was in their company until the moment they waved my car goodbye, I found myself amazed by how polite, mature and genuine these children were. I felt like I was really witnessing a tribe in action as they interacted and played together. The bond was so evident to me that it felt tangible. The boys showed me their rooms and their favorite games to play. They quickly began a basketball game moments after showing me their indoor hoop! I felt like I was IN the action from minute one. Even little Quinn made sure he was always in on the fun!

This family is athletic and incredibly fun loving. (Mom & Dad included!!) We took a walk to Brookdale Park at sunset where we played some football, hide and seek in the rose garden, t-ball with Quinn (who kept losing his ball in the tall bushes), and even a little brotherly wrestling. We ended our session with a pit-stop at the ice cream truck!

This family was just so lovely to be around, I am so grateful for the opportunity to spend some time getting to know all of them.
